What does it do, if it goes out of time.
A sure indication of a timing belt "jumping a tooth" is a distinct misfire. According to how far the belt has "jumped" will determine the severity of the misfire. I've never had it happen, personally, and have only heard of one or two other instances in my three years of hanging out with these boards -- and, as you can see by my post count, I hang out A LOT.

In short, the car will run very roughly.
